German health minister says vaccines effective against new virus strain
European Union experts believe existing vaccines against coronavirus are effective against the new fast-spreading strain identified in Britain, Germany’s health minister says.
“According to everything we know so far” the new strain “has no impact on the vaccines,” which remain “just as effective,” Jens Spahn tells public broadcaster ZDF, citing “talks between experts at European authorities.”
